I'm a Green Machine

Thursday night I went to an info session for DetermiNation. We didn’t have a huge turn out (just 3 people), but it was great. Coach Ramon was talking about the experience you would have when you joined the team, and it made me think about my marathon. It made me really nostalgic. I’m so proud to be a part of this group, and I’m happy I get to train with them again this summer.

While I was at Jack Rabbit, I picked up some new shoes and let me tell you they are AWESOME!!!! As a runner, we’re supposed to pick the shoes that feel the best, regardless of what they look like. You’re not trying to be cute when you run 26 miles. So normally, I’m stuck with whatever they have. This time, I actually had options, so I chose these bad boys.

I feel like a running machine in these. I like to think I’m a Green Machine. Maybe it will make training more fun. And they even match my new running pants! But despite the new shoes, I was really lacking motivation to run yesterday. Josh had to literally push me out the door. I'm so glad he did! Yesterday was the PERFECT day for a run! And the new shoes felt pretty good too:) I'm slowly inching up my mileage, so I'm sure I'll have some fun and agonizing running tales to tell soon.
